Well hey there!  Thanks for stopping by Walnut Ridge Solutions!  What is it that Walnut Ridge Solutions does?  Well, among other things, WRS provides time and temperature telephone service.  That's right, in today's smartphone addicted world, you can still call the time and temperature, just like you did when you were a kid!  Why, you might ask?  Well... I don't really have a good answer for that one.  Let me introduce myself, my name is Justin, owner and operator of Walnut Ridge Solutions, LLC.  You see, as I edge closer to that 40 year old mark, I find myself lost in nostalgia more often than I'd like to admit.  That, and ever since I was a very small child, I've always been fascinated with telephones and currently have a modest collection of "vintage" phones.  I suppose those two things collided in my mind one day, and I started researching time and temperature services, most of which were provided and sponsored by either your telephone company, or, a local bank.  I spent a few frustrating weeks setting up some open source software, connecting internet services, and hooking up a temperature sensor, but at last, I had my much hoped for time and temperature number up and going!  After spending a few more weeks getting my first number (Salem, IN) sounding the way I wanted, I decided that it would be neat to make another number, only this time, I wanted it to sound exactly like the time & temp number did when I was a kid.  I scoured the internet for about a week, and finally found an extremely helpful fella that had recordings taken from the very type of machine that I wanted my number to sound like.  This guy was kind enough to take the time to send me all of the sound files I needed, taken from a machine that he had repaired (an Audichron STM) and in another day or so, I had a very vintage sounding time and temperature number up and going for the Mitchell, IN area.  Neither number generates a huge number of calls, however, I do have a few "regulars" that call several times a day.  I've not done any real advertising for the service, other than post it on Facebook, so mostly it spreads by word of mouth.  Basically, this is just a hobby for me, but, hopefully, it's useful to someone.
